Will Josef Pruscha release a delta printer under his own brand?
Prusa Research, under the leadership of you-know-who, bought out 80% of the shares and took control of the Czech manufacturer of delta-kinematic 3D printers Trilab. Does this mean that in the near future the range under the Original Prusa brand will also be replenished with delta printers? We understand.
If you are familiar with Betteridge's Law, then you already know the answer - no, nothing like that Josef and his team are going to do, at least not yet. Nevertheless, the deal is worthy of attention, because it clearly demonstrates the aggressive market policy of Josef and his team.
Let's face it: the fact that Prusha's company not only managed to survive, but also actively develops in the modern additive market inspires respect. Josef's name is associated primarily with open-source "drygostok", christened his name, although the company has just rolled out a Prusa XL 3D printer with CoreXY kinematics. The original "prushes" were not copied by anyone, and the market is littered with cheap offers from Chinese manufacturers. Prusha, on the other hand, continues to do its job, offering quite expensive products, but not giving up an inch of the market.
For comparison, let's take a couple more legendary brands that stood at the origins of the RepRap movement - MakerBot and Printrbot, founded by the equally legendary Bree Pettis and Brook Drumm.
These companies had a tough time competing with the Uncle Liao Gang, so much so that MakerBot was forced to abandon its open hardware and software architecture, close its own Brooklyn plant and move production to Asia, move under the umbrella of Stratasys Corporation and, by and large, exit the amateur sector and focus on the development of professional FDM 3D printers. Personally, Pettis left the company altogether, deciding to do other things. Printrbot got even worse: Brook complained more than once about unfair competition from the Chinese, and in 2018 the company closed amid falling sales.
Prusha doesn’t even blow in the mustache. The original “drygotables” continue to be in demand, and Josef not only does not seek patronage from large corporations, as MakerBot did, but, on the contrary, is building his own empire. To make it clear to everyone, he sells his products under the Original Prusa brand, but it is popular not so much because of the name, but thanks to the tireless work to improve the equipment offered and create its own ecosystem.
Are the Chinese copying “drygosts” and selling them cheap? And we will make a premium version with quality components and throw on top the multi-material printing system, the “best filaments” Prusament, and even our own version of the Slic3r slicer, now known as the PrusaSlicer.
But this is not enough to survive, and Prusha is doing what any ambitious entrepreneur should do - not to spend income on yachts and mansions (at least not all of them), but to invest money back into the business. And here we are back to the Trilab story. The fact is that this is not the first acquisition, and probably not the last.
In 2018, Prusa Research acquired another Czech developer of 3D printers, Futur3D, a company specializing in stereolithography systems. The developments of this company formed the basis of a new photopolymer 3D printer, but now under Josef's own brand - Original Prusa SL1. New 3D printers quickly found buyers, and Prusa Research did not hesitate, and as soon as the massive transition from RGB to monochrome matrices began, they rolled out an upgraded version called Original Prusa SL1 Speed, offered owners of first-generation systems an upgrade to a new level, upgraded washing stations and re-illumination of CW1 to the CW1S variant (to be honest, we liked the original name CurWa more), and in October of this year she also launched her own line of photopolymer resins.
And now Prusa Research has taken over Trilab, also a Czech company, and quite well-known, but not on the amateur market. This company has been operating since 2016, developing professional additive systems. For example, this summer Trilab rolled out a new line of AzteQ delta printers with a build area up to Ø400x600 mm, temperature-controlled working chambers, high-temperature extruders and the ability to integrate Palette systems for splicing from four to eight filaments. And this is where the answer to the question lies, why delta printers under the Original Prusa brand should not be expected in the near future.
The nuance lies in the different sales markets. While Original Prusa's equipment and supplies are primarily for enthusiasts, Trilab's 3D printers are designed for the professional sector. Josef does not want to confuse buyers, is afraid of the very unfair competition and prefers to consolidate resources instead of unnecessary restructuring of an already successful enterprise.
“Trilab makes high quality 3D printers for the corporate sector and their brand is well recognized in this area. Our machines, on the other hand, are aimed more at amateurs, and besides, they are open source, and this can create obstacles when working in the corporate and industrial sectors. We complement each other perfectly. We have an excellent B2C system without intermediaries, we can sell 3D printers and consumables worldwide directly from the headquarters in Prague. Trilab has business partners not only in the European Union, but also in Japan, Israel, Canada and Australia. Their business experience is completely different from ours,” Pruscha explains.
“At the beginning of 2021, we realized that we needed a strategic partner to further develop and expand our market. After many months of negotiations with many foreign companies, we came to the rather unexpected conclusion that the best option is to join forces with another Czech company, Prusa Research,” commented Michal Bohacs, CEO of Trilab.
So in the end, Prusa Research will not interfere with Trilab's work under the already established scheme and under its own name, but at the same time, enterprises will be able to support each other and share best practices. For the corporate sector, Original Prusa has plans of its own, judging by the 3D printer farm showcased at Dubai Expo 2020.
The value of the deal with Trilab was not disclosed, but the parties confirmed the fact of the merger at the Formnext 2021 trade show taking place these days in Frankfurt am Main. The Trilab staff will retain their full positions, including company founders Vojtěch Tambor and Michal Bohács. Is that the company itself will now officially be called Trilab - A Prusa Research Company. To make everything clear to everyone.

The video shows a scaling farm of thirty-four additive systems with automatic unloading.
Each cell is a variant of the new Original Prusa XL 3D printer with CoreXY kinematics, first shown at Formnext 2021.
The truss is currently on display at Dubai Expo 2020. The system is designed for both rapid prototyping and low volume additive manufacturing. Workflows are automated as much as possible: the system itself changes tables upon completion of 3D printing, monitors the consumption of materials and issues individual tasks from the general list, taking into account the load and readiness of 3D printers. For example, in order not to waste time and energy, the farm will try to give priority to a 3D printer that has not yet cooled down, but has just finished working, instead of warming up an idle "cold" system.
The truss design mimics a server rack with easily replaceable modules in case the printers need repairs or extended maintenance. The variant shown consists of thirty-four cells, but the design is easily scalable and can accept various variants of the latest Original Prusa XL 3D printer.
The Original Prusa XL premiered this November at the Formnext trade show in Frankfurt am Main. This is the first variant in the line of original 3D printers from Josef Pruša's team based on the CoreXY kinematics, although this is far from the only feature.
Other innovations include an extruder with a powerful cycloidal gear, a segmented platform with zoned heating and an optional automatic tool changer. Toolchanger options can also be integrated into farms if the need arises.
Inquiries about new farms can be made now, but they will not appear on the commercial market until next year. The exact date is not called, as the company has already been burned by interruptions in the supply of components against the background of the pandemic. The cost of each cell is estimated at three thousand dollars, including a maintenance contract. In retail, Original Prusa XL 3D printers are offered at a price of two to three and a half thousand dollars, depending on the configuration.
In the meantime, Prusha's team is entertaining exhibition visitors with 3D printing of various "snowflakes" added to a huge garland. The Czech pavilion will remain open until 31 May next year.
